S12/E9: Addressing the social-emotional needs of migrant and EL students with Dr. Sonia Soltero


Listen Later

We made it to the last episode of Season 12 - and I couldn’t be happier with our guest and the topics we covered. Dr. Sonia Soltero has been a contributor and collaborator in our community since the very beginning. She is currently working with Chicago Public Schools to help support newcomers, so we are excited to bring her on again to share the experience with others. We cover a lot of ground in our conversation, focusing on…

  • Why educators need additional support and training to address the SEL needs of their newcomer and migrant students

  • A framework educators can follow to ensure they are addressing the variety of students’ needs in their instruction?

  • How we can leverage partnerships with universities and colleges to better prepare educators to work with multilingual learners

  • …and much more






  • Dr. Soltero is Professor and Chair of the Department of Leadership, Language, and Curriculum, and former Director of the Bilingual-Bicultural Education Graduate Program at DePaul University in Chicago. Soltero has numerous publications on bilingual education, English Learners, and Latino Education having been involved with dual/bilingual education for more than thirty years as a dual language teacher, university professor, professional developer, and researcher. Soltero has an extensive background in design and implementation of dual language and bilingual programs and has worked with school districts as well as bilingual universities across the US.
